Would someone please just shut down Fox News already?!!?
What semi-reputable news organization calls a Presidential candidate's wife a "Baby Mama"?!?!
I know, prolly the same sorta semi-reputable news organization that refers to the simple act of "dap" as a "terrorist fist jab".
They "made" this strumpet "apologize", but thankfully she just lost her Day Job. Well, not really. They just reassigned her. The mission's already been accomplished. She prolly got a raise for keeping this whole "terrorist" thing in the news cycles.
Seriously, why don't they just go ahead and don the white hoods and robes already?
I suppose there is some truth to the whole "baby mama" tag though. Michelle did indeed have two kids by Barry, so it's tasteless, but technically correct.
That said, I'm waiting to see the caption "Cindy McCain: Crackhead". Tasteless, sure. But also technically correct. So, put that on your crylon while you're at it.
I'm not holding my breath though.
I know I promised I was gonna do that whole AB.com Rates The Cable News Talkin' Heads: Fox News Edition post, but I don't think my stomach can take watching this travershamockery long enough to compile the necessary material. And reality is, the station is damn near writing the post for me anyway. Why waste the keystrokes?
Rupert Murdoch is crying ins... nah, on second thought, he's laughin' straight to the bank.
Question: Fox News is supposed to be a semi-reputable news organization, but if they keep this sorta BS up, can't the FCC step in or something? If you self-identify as a "conservative", does this sorta bullsh*t from your Flagship Propoganda Peddler make you feel a wee bit embarrassed? I mean, seriously, Fox News has to be like that drunk uncle you really wish would just shut up, right? Aren't they sorta undermining your legitmate party fundamentals with this sorta nonsense? Spool32, Daedulus, speak on it homies!!!

AB:
We must have been thinking alike. I posted this crazy stuff from Fox News within the last hour.
Check out this video clip of Rupert Murdock

Fox News is the only lifeline of scared Republicans. Democrats have....wait.....they don't have anything. Thank God I'm an independent.
Since when has Fox "News" been "semi-reputable"? It is not reputable, and is as much a conduit for propaganda, openly on display here, as a news organization. Google the "Outfoxed" DVD for more of its sorry history. And while I know you changed your tagline in midsentence, how can you even halfway think that Rupert Murdoch would be crying inside over this? This is business as usual for this most unwelcome immigrant to the USA.

For all your fox-frustrations...
Real talk, you can talk about Obama all you want, you drag his name through the mud and "scandalize his name."
But mess with Michelle, Negroes (uppity and all) will riot...
I'll personally volunteer to go on the first line.
Check this out.
Fox is losing market share. Pretty soon the only advertisers will be for sheet manufacturers and Clorox[tm]. Oooh, and for whatever keeps the Messicans out of the neighborhood.
If only it were possible that Murdoch managed to lose his shirt when Fox goes under. That would be awesome.
Oh no you did-ih call me out! ROTFL! @AB: Imagine if you will, the the tens of thousands of petabyes of storage available on all the computers on the net. Do you think that there is enough storage to even index let alone store the video of the left-wing slams on republicans *of all colors* from CNN and espesically MSNBC? I doubt it.
Michelle Obama referred to Barack as her "baby's daddy" on the night he won his Senate seat in 2004. So why is it not ok to use Michelle's own language? If you want to be treated with poise, you had better start with showing some yourself. @Zack, take a look at MSNBC for your left-wing fix. Side note: I have heard for years about how Fox puts on stories that show an unflattering view of African Americans. I dont know whether its true or not because I dont spend my days and nights wondering whether every thing I see happen is because of racism. I have better things to do like, prospering, running my firm, being happy or something else anti-black like that. I do however, have a uniqiue solution to this problem, provided its true, that hasnt been tried before. Instead of getting on Fox for reporting it, go tell Laterian to stop acting a fool and providing material.
I knew the Michelle called Barack was coming.
If a blogger or random person called Michelle that it would be one thing but what Michelle said does not give a green light for FOX News.
What part of news organization don't people understand? This is supposed to be a professional news organization with journalists and ethics.
Whatever our opinions may be of Michelle using similar language has nothing to do with a news organization using the terminology, or do they not professional standards?
I envision a little child pointing and saying, "Well, she said it first."
And people who are able to see the bias at FOX can't simultaneously live prosperous lives?
@symphony:
So what you're saying is, we should hold a sensationalist news organization to a higher standard of poise and professionalism than we hold a potential President's wife?
Well, OK... I didn't think we needed to set the bar that low.
;)
So if Fux News ran a crawler with "That Nigga Jigga Marries Spicy Creole," that'd be justifiable because they've referred to themselves as such?
Granted, they're considered a sensationalist news org but they're still considered reputable by their large viewership. I would expect responsibility on their end.
Perhaps I'm expecting too much *Shrugs*
No thats not what I meant Spool, so thanks for asking. :)
@ Spool32.. Couldnt have said it better myself! You dont hear Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell refered to in such a manner do you?
Wow, cluelessness run amok.
I, personally, don't agree with Michelle's word choice but WHAT THE HELL does that have to do with a NEWS organization using that terminology?
No, she didn't open up a door for a NEWS organization to use such a phrase against her.
I don't even know why I'm debating this because you know darn well there is no justification for the use by FOX News.
But then again, some Black folks will let mainstream say and do anything for the sake of not wanting to be seen as a complaining Negro.
I am not in anyway offended by the comment but it does seem a little Maury Povich-ish, especially coming from a station that is not BET, CW, E!, etc. So, I guess it is unprofessional on their part. I'd be pist if I went to school and actually worked hard to receive a degree in journalism and then the network I work for actually uses a tag line as "Baby Mama." Where is the seriousness in that?
